CAL POLY RUGBY NAMES NEW HEAD COACH

San Luis Obispo, CA– The Cal Poly Mustangs are pleased to announce the
appointment of new head rugby coach David Burnett.

Burnett comes to Cal Poly after successful coaching stints at Harvard University,
Scots College (Australia), Sydney Junior Rugby Union, and most recently, Woollahra
Colleagues Rugby Football Club.

“We are excited to have David join Cal Poly Rugby,” said Charles Zanoli, Cal Poly’s
Director of Rugby. “He brings a lot of experience and knowledge of the game with
him. David knows how to get the most out of his teams and push their skills to a
higher level.”

Prior to coaching, Burnett played loose forward and center for teams in Europe, the
United States, and Australia.

“I am really looking forward to joining the Cal Poly Rugby program. It’s a program
that has a great foundation and tremendous history in central California,” Burnett
commented. “Cal Poly is a world renowned university for academic excellence
and I’ll be looking to draw upon the players intellectual abilities to gain a deeper
understanding of the game.”

Burnett will lead the Mustangs into action at the end of October in the team’s
opening match against Chico State in the 2nd Annual Archibald Cup in San Luis
Obispo.

Cal Poly Rugby was established in 1965 and has spent the last 46 years as one of the
premiere collegiate rugby programs in the nation.

If you would like more information, or to contact David Burnett for an interview,
